    I’ll have a little cry if Gaelic Warrior goes to the Supreme, not a full-on cry though because I’m a big boy now.

    4/1 NRNB with Bet365 for those who can get on – they keep running him at 2m.

    That is a very fair price Ian especially after the Facile Vega race today, if I could get on I would!

    Just wondering if Facile Vega was found to have a dirty scope after. Looked like a breathing issue the way he stopped. The way he won at Cheltenham last year, going away from the field, to me shows a breathing issue for a 2 mile race.
    Be interesting if theres time for a wind OP before Cheltenham.

    Yep just read the quote from Mullins on Vega, I’ll copy and paste it below

    Mullins, speaking to Racing TV was quoted as saying “Paul Townend is a nasty piece of work, only reason we keep him is so the lads can place lay all our odds-on shots on the exchange”

    I was bored just now so decided to do some timings comparing the Facile Vega race over the weekend to the State Man race just to see the sectionals for myself. I’ve timed each race from the point the horses pass the judge for the start of the race to the time it took leading horse in each race to reach the corresponding hurdles, make of the information what you will!

    Facile Vega race

    1st hurdle – 15 seconds
    2nd hurdle – 50 seconds
    3rd hurdle – 1min 05
    4th hurdle – 1min 50
    5th hurdle – 2min 02
    6th hurdle – 2min 15
    7th hurdle – 2min 30
    8th hurdle (omitted) – 3min 04
    9th hurdle – 3min 34
    Finish line – 3min 49

    State Man race

    1st hurdle – 17 seconds (2 secs slower)
    2nd hurdle – 54 seconds (4 secs slower)
    3rd hurdle – 1min 08 (3 secs slower)
    4th hurdle – 1min 56 (6 secs slower)
    5th hurdle – 2min 08 (6 secs slower)
    6th hurdle – 2min 21 (6 secs slower)
    7th hurdle – 2min 36 (6 secs slower)
    8th hurdle (NOT OMITTED) – 3min 09 (5 secs slower)
    9th hurdle – 3min 38 (4 secs slower)
    Finish Line – 3min 52 (3 secs slower)

    Townsends problem is he isn’t Ruby ….. Did Mullins ever critize Walsh , did he **** , and that’s despite some well known last hurdle/fence disasters

    Skybet going money back as cash on the first race of each day up to a tenner
    check the conditions as I think its your first bet on each race from now so make sure to get the full amount on

    There’s one running today in the 3.40 at Kempton, he’s Hansard
    and 7/4 fav today and I think he could shake up the market in the
    Supreme as he’s 40/1 NRNB with quite a few at the moment. I couldn’t
    believe my eyes when a couple of wags on the Betfair Echange were
    prepared to go 42/1 and 40/1 W/O Facile Vega (best in that market
    now is 30/1 for 12 quid W/O FV).

    He’s by The Gurkha who won the French 2.000 Guineas and the Sussex
    Stakes. He moved to Gary Moore and is 2/2 which he won “readily”
    and then “won going away”. If he shows any of his Dad’s ability today
    the 40/1 will disappear.

    Hansard 42/1 and 40/1 W/O Facile Vega, Betfair Exchange
    Hansard 40/1 E/w with Bet 365 NRNB

    “Skybet going money back as cash on the first race of each day up to a tenner

    For Facile Vega to still be favourite after his last run says a lot about those in behind
    I haven’t backed him since Leopardstown but my Ante post tickets are tucked away in a safe place rather than the bin

    “Only £2 for me this year”

    That’s £2 more than Chezza’s allowed.

    Taken from their website: “Please note customers who are ineligible for any promotional free bets will also be ineligible for this promotion – that means YOU, Chezza, so why don’t you just **** off once and for all?”

    Charming.
